levelness of sides. Check levelness of front using lid, as
shown. Rock washer/dryer back and forth to make sure all
four feet make solid contact with floor. If washer/dryer is level,
skip to step 3 (27" models) or step 4 (24" models).

If washer/dryer is not level, prop up front of washer/dryer
about 4" (102 mm) with a wood block or similar object that
will support weight of washer/dryer.
On 27" models, use a 9/16" or 14 mm open-end or adjustable
wrench to turn jam nuts clockwise on feet until they are
about 1/2" (13 mm) from the washer/dryer cabinet. Then
turn the leveling foot clockwise to lower the washer/dryer
or counterclockwise to raise the washer/dryer.
On 24" models, adjust the feet up or down as necessary.
On all models, remove wood block and lower washer/dryer.
